A wall turns a bank you used to mow sideways into two flat, usable levels. A patio where there was a slope, and a clean horizontal line that makes the whole yard read as designed. The block is where the character comes from. Warm multi-tone on a curve, charcoal for something modern, or weathered boulders on an acreage. Capped, lit, and tied into the walkway, it stops looking like engineering and starts looking like architecture. ― What you get ## Level ground that stays level. Two Levels ### A patio where there was a hill Flat, usable ground out of a bank you could only mow sideways. One Line ### The yard finally reads as designed A clean horizontal across the property, capped and lit, that pulls everything else together. Springs ### Still exactly where we left it The top course holds its line, season after season. You never have to look at it again. ― What we build ## Pick your wall. ### Garden & seating walls Under three feet. These frame beds, hold a small grade change, or double as somewhere to sit around a fire. Fast to build, and the place most homeowners start. ### Structural block walls Three to eight feet, in AB, Barkman or Techo Bloc units with geogrid tied back into the slope. This is the bulk of what we build across the west end and the newer south-side communities. ### Boulder & natural stone Rock walls for acreages and larger lots where a manufactured block would look out of place. Slower, heavier, and worth it on the right property. ― Our take ## A wall should be a decision you make once. You shouldn't be thinking about your retaining wall. It should hold the yard up, look like it was always meant to be there, and then disappear into the background of your property. When we come out, we'll tell you what the site needs. Sometimes that's less wall than you were picturing and a change in grade instead. Sometimes it's an engineer's stamp and a bigger number than you were hoping for. Either way you'll hear it before you're committed, not halfway through. And if we're not the right fit for the job, we'll say so and point you somewhere that is. ― Recent work ## Walls we’ve built. Light grey AB block, single tier Two-tier wall with planting shelf Low front wall into stone walkway Curved wall, acreage lot Staggered steps between grades Wall, patio and beds as one build ― FAQ ## Wall questions ### How tall can a wall be before it needs an engineer? In Edmonton it's around four feet. If your wall needs an engineer, we arrange it on our end so you don't have to. ### How long does a wall take to build? A garden or seating wall is one to two days. A structural wall is three to six days. If we can get a machine into the yard, it's faster. ### Can you fix a wall that’s already leaning? Usually. We take it apart, fix what's behind it, and rebuild with your block if it's still good. Send us photos and we'll tell you before we drive out. ### What does a retaining wall cost? It depends on height, length and the block you pick. We price it after we've seen the site, and that price doesn't change. ### When can you start? Depends how full the book is. Wall work stops once the ground freezes, so fall dates go early. ― Edmonton homeowners · 5.0★ Google rated ## What our clients say. " I highly recommend Brick Lawn Landscaping.
